Origin PC Over-Clocked To A Whopping 5.7Ghz With Help Of Sub-Zero Cooling System

There's precious little else that gets PC gamers all hot under the collar than discussing hardware specifications. In truth, there's nothing we despise more than gamers trying to out-geek the other - from noisy disputes that his AMD Phenom II 850 4 x 3.3 GHZ tops your Intel Core i7 2600K, or arguments kick-started by a debate over cooling systems – but then perhaps we don't care less.

Still, there's something to admire about the progression of affordable PC technology within the home. Growing up with 56kb/s modem speeds, a mere 64Mb of RAM to deal with and processing speeds of a couple of hundred megahertz, Origin PC's latest incarnation beggars belief. Thanks to the company's exclusive 'Phase Change Technology', which “cools the processor to subzero temperatures as low as -40°c,” according to the press release. The cooling system will be available from late Q1. Origin has insisted that the efficiency created by the cooling technology has led to a Core i7 2700K system be over-clocked to a staggering 5.7Ghz. What's more, cooling controls and temperature displays allow you to keep a discerning eye on the ratio between power and heat produced.
